Ronnie David Allen

Ronnie was a Master Mason and was awarded his 50 year pin earlier this year. He was an avid Carolina Tarheel Fan and never missed a game. Ronnie was a charter member of the local Corvette club and owned many Corvettes during his lifetime. He enjoyed all kinds of music and played banjo, guitar, and piano. After many years at Cherry Point, Ronnie retired from NASEU Engineering. Ronnie and his coworkers spent many years participating and winning the Trent River Raft Race aboard "Lickety Split." More than anything Ronnie loved spending time with his girls by visiting exciting places in North Carolina and several other states through the years.

He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Lydia Allen; daughters, Christina Moser (Kelly), and Robyn Golden (Les); grandchildren, Brent Moser, Cameron Moser (Allyson), Sam Moser, Lindsey Golden, and Jimmy Golden; nephew, Jimmy Caldwell; nieces, Tammy Brown and Jackie Hildebrand; soon to arrive great grandson, Baby Moser; and foreign exchange daughter, Tamara Bossi.

He is preceded in death by his parents, David and Alice Allen; brother, Jack Allen; and sister, Brenda Caldwell.
